Early viral stunts
Before gaining widespread attention for the Subway incident, Jumanne attempted to build an audience through provocative public videos and music promotion.
Among these recordings were incidents in which he caused disturbances inside retail establishments, including knocking merchandise from shelves while referencing deceased rapper Pop Smoke.
The videos attracted criticism for their disruptive nature but also generated some online attention.
These early activities established the approach to internet fame that would eventually lead to his most widely publicized controversy.
Subway food contamination incident
In October 2021, Jumanne filmed himself deliberately contaminating food at a Subway restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, where he was employed.
The videos showed Jumanne throwing ingredients onto the floor, stepping into food containers, and placing deli meats around a toilet seat.
He repeatedly called for rapper Meek Mill to notice him and offer him a record deal.
The footage spread rapidly online and generated widespread criticism concerning food safety and the potential consequences for customers.
Subway subsequently confirmed that he had been fired by the franchise operator.
In an interview with Newsweek, Jumanne acknowledged that he had deliberately staged the incidents to attract publicity.
Although the stunt succeeded in generating attention, it also became a lasting source of negative publicity that continued to follow him throughout his subsequent online career.
Reported iPad-pawning incidents
During 2024, accounts began circulating within Jumanne's community concerning his practice of purchasing expensive electronics with credit and subsequently pawning them to obtain gambling money.
According to these accounts, Jumanne purchased iPads using credit cards before selling or pawning the devices at a substantial loss.
The resulting cash was reportedly used for casino gambling, leaving him responsible for the original purchases regardless of whether he won or lost.
The incidents became a recurring subject of criticism because of the additional financial losses created before gambling had even begun.
The exact number of purchases and transactions has not been independently established.
Collaboration with Kanel Joseph
In October 2025, Jumanne received renewed attention following a collaboration involving content creator Kanel Joseph.
The collaboration introduced Jumanne to viewers who were not previously familiar with his content or history.
Community members regarded the additional exposure as a potential opportunity for him to expand his audience and improve his earnings from content creation.
However, some viewers criticized his subsequent lack of consistent follow-up content, arguing that he had failed to capitalize on the opportunity.
The episode contributed to broader discussions about Jumanne's inconsistent approach to developing an online career.
Appearance with Raud
In December 2025, Jumanne was associated with a livestream involving fellow content creator Raud.
The encounter attracted attention from viewers interested in potential collaborations between Jumanne and more established online personalities.
However, members of his community subsequently questioned why relatively little material from the encounter appeared on Jumanne's own channels.
The incident became another example cited by viewers who believed he was failing to take advantage of opportunities to expand his audience.
Rhode Island casino self-exclusion
In January 2026, Jumanne publicly documented an attempt to exclude himself from gambling establishments in Rhode Island.
The decision followed repeated financial setbacks attributed to casino gambling.
Some viewers praised the decision as a meaningful attempt to address his gambling problems, particularly because voluntary self-exclusion can prevent entry into participating casinos for a specified period.
However, questions remained concerning whether the exclusion would prevent Jumanne from gambling outside Rhode Island.
The decision initially appeared to represent a potential turning point in his efforts to improve his financial circumstances.
Gambling for McDonald's money
In February 2026, Jumanne attracted criticism following a gambling session in which he reportedly entered a casino with approximately $100 while attempting to earn additional money to purchase McDonald's.
According to community accounts, he already possessed sufficient funds to purchase the meal without gambling.
The incident became a particularly recognizable example of his tendency to risk substantial amounts of money while pursuing comparatively minor financial gains.
Viewers criticized the apparent contradiction between his stated desire to improve his finances and the decision to gamble money he did not need to risk.
The episode was subsequently referenced in discussions about his recurring gambling behavior.
Return to gambling after self-exclusion
By March 2026, community members were again documenting Jumanne participating in casino gambling despite his earlier attempt to exclude himself from gambling establishments in Rhode Island.
The renewed activity reportedly involved visits to casinos outside the state, where his Rhode Island exclusion would not necessarily apply.
The development disappointed some viewers who had interpreted his January decision as the beginning of a sustained effort to stop gambling.
It also reinforced a recurring pattern in his content: public acknowledgement of financial problems, an announced commitment to change, and a subsequent return to familiar behavior.
Hotel employment and streaming
In September 2026, viewers discussed footage appearing to show Jumanne livestreaming from a hotel where he was employed.
The broadcasts attracted attention because he had previously indicated that he intended to leave the position.
His continued employment, or apparent return to the workplace, created confusion among followers attempting to understand his current financial circumstances.
The situation became another example of the inconsistent employment updates that have characterized Through the Struggles.
Rejected Togi collaboration
In September 2026, Jumanne became involved in a public disagreement surrounding a proposed collaboration with gambling content creator Togi.
Jumanne reportedly rejected the opportunity after objecting to Togi's behavior and repeated use of racial slurs.
The decision generated considerable discussion among his viewers.
Some argued that refusing the collaboration was financially shortsighted, particularly given Togi's larger audience and the potential publicity Jumanne could have received.
Others defended the decision, arguing that Jumanne should not be expected to overlook behavior he considered objectionable for the sake of publicity.
The disagreement continued into October, with Jumanne publicly addressing the controversy and responding to criticism of his decision.
Older footage and inconsistent uploads
During October 2026, members of the r/Jumanneee community observed Jumanne uploading recordings that appeared to have been filmed considerably earlier.
The uploads caused confusion among viewers attempting to follow his circumstances chronologically.
Some questioned whether the recordings represented current developments or previously unreleased material.
The incident followed an established pattern of inconsistent uploads, deleted videos, and changes to his publishing schedule.
As of the end of October 2026, Jumanne remained active online, although the chronology of some of his published content was difficult to establish.
Renewed Las Vegas gambling
During October 2026, Jumanne continued publishing content involving casino visits and roulette gambling in Las Vegas.
The videos documented further attempts to earn money through gambling, alongside additional reported losses.
These uploads attracted renewed criticism from viewers familiar with his previous financial difficulties and repeated attempts to quit.
The gambling content also reinforced the contrast between Jumanne's stated ambitions of improving his financial situation and his continued participation in high-risk betting.
Togi apology
On October 16, 2026, a clip circulated showing Togi offering an apology concerning his language during the dispute involving Jumanne.
The apology generated mixed reactions among viewers, with some interpreting it as an attempt to resolve the disagreement and others questioning its sincerity.
The exchange became another subject of discussion within Jumanne's online community.
The proposed collaboration had not been established as having taken place.
